| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Energy stored in particles of matter for later use. | Chemical energy |
| Used to convert solar energy to electrical energy. | Solar cells |
| Energy due to the motion and position of an object. | Mechanical energy |
| Fast moving cars have more of this type of energy than a slow moving car. | Kinetic energy |
| The transfer of energy that takes places when a book is falling from a shelf. | Potential to kinetic |
| The most unwanted form of energy. | Heat energy. |
| A push or pull on an object. | Force |
| An electric current flowing through a wire wrapped around an iron core forms this. | An electromagnet |
| When animals use chemical energy in food to move. The chemical energy is transferred into this form of energy. | Mechanical kinetic energy |
| This surrounds a magnet. | Magnetic field |
| This is where the manipulated variable is ALWAYS graphed on. | X-axis |
| Unlike poles do this. | Attract |
| The flow of electrons. | Electricity |

| A flat slanted surface. | Inclined plane |
| Another name for a double pulley system. | Block and Tackle |
| Consists of two circular objects and a shaft. | Wheel and axle |
| Two types of energy | Kinetic and potential |
| Two or more simple machines | Compound/complex machine |
| The three ways heat can be transferred. | Conduction, convection, and radiation. |
| The pulley system that is the most effective. | Block and tackle( double pulley system) going up |
| A coil of wire spinning around a magnet or vice versa can form this. | An electric current |
| Energy that is flowing in an electric circuit. | Electrical energy |
| Batteries,food, and wood all contain this form of energy. | Chemical energy |
